Carlos Beltran wasn't my first choice to replace Mickey Callaway, but he was my second.
Here are 5 reasons why I'm excited to have him back in the mix...
1) He's Carlos Beltran
Beltran is among my top five favorite Mets players of all time, which is a sentiment not shared by a lot of fans. He's often unfairly remembered for a single at-bat against one of the best pitchers in the league with the best curve ball in the game at that time.
To focus on that one moment ignores that in just seven years he peppered himself across most of the franchise's top-10 lists.
